AAA - Red Aleppo Pepper Flakes

Magic Plant Red Aleppo Pepper Flakes

The Mediterranean Jewel—Silky Texture with a Tangy, Salty Kick.

Overview

Our natural Red Aleppo Pepper packs a sophisticated heat at 10,000 to 15,000 (SHUs). Aleppo peppers provide a slow-building warmth rather than an aggressive sting. So those few seconds prior to that—this respected pepper actually has a really nice complex salty and raisin-like sweet flavor! Our Red Aleppo crushed flakes are moderately hot (spicy) so use with common sense and caution. Remember, the heat is mild compared to extreme peppers, but you should still start with a small taste test to gauge your heat tolerance.

The Aleppo pepper, traditionally grown in Syria and Turkey (also known as Halaby pepper), is prized for its unique processing method which involves sun-drying and a hint of salt and oil. Pleasant Heat and Endorphin Rush. Before processing, Aleppo peppers have a distinctive appearance with a deep, burgundy red color and a semi-fleshy texture. They are often characterized by their absence of seeds in the final flake form, giving them a smooth, "silk" chili appearance in the culinary community.
